Journey to Seek Past Reincarnations Chapter 5: Abe Seimei
Master Zhongxing said solemnly: "Everyone, I am afraid that we will encounter a hundred ghosts tonight." As soon as he said this, everyone gasped. He glanced at everyone, and said, "Wait a minute, everyone, don't make any noise. If the ghost finds someone here, it will definitely eat you skin and bones."
He glanced at us again and said, "Baoxian, you stay here and form a barrier with me, Qingming, you go to Shaluo's car and watch her, remember not to let her make a sound .”
Bao Xian looked at me and nodded. Seimei seemed a little surprised, but immediately turned and walked towards me.
"Among the ghosts, there may be some with particularly sensitive noses, and there may be some that cannot be blocked by barriers, so everyone must be careful not to be discovered by ghosts." After Mr. Zhongxing finished speaking, he and Baoxian stood around Set up a barrier.
Qingming has already gotten into the car and sat down beside me. Looking sideways to the outside of the car, there was a trace of solemnity between his brows.
"Don't worry, I won't make a sound." I whispered.
He turned his head, looked at me, and suddenly said, "Don't be afraid."
"I'm not afraid, Qingming shouldn't be afraid either." I interjected, a faint smile seemed to float in Qingming's eyes, "I won't be afraid."
Hundred ghosts at night, what kind of scene should it be? There was no sound in the surroundings, and there was no trace of life. In today's situation, if Ka Moo Tadakayuki, Bao Xian and Seimei fight together, plus me, I am afraid that they are not the opponents of so many ghosts, not to mention that the well-known Abe Seimei is only a teenager now.
Therefore, the only solution for now is only one word: Avoid. Although it is a bit embarrassing, it is the safest.
As the black cloud-like evil spirit gradually approached, there was a faint sound like ghosts crying and howling wolves. Although I often deal with ghosts, the screams of the ghosts are inevitably a little creepy.
Through the curtain on the car, I couldn't help gasping for what I saw.
From birth to now, I have never seen so many and such ferocious ghosts. The Japanese ghosts that Si Yin taught before all appeared in front of me alive.
The long tongue has the face of a beautiful woman to seduce men, and the monster who devours the man's body is a ghost; only a pile of white bones is left, but the bone girl who uses human skin to disguise herself; the head is sleeping It will fly away from the body from time to time and take pleasure in scaring people everywhere. It is said that the person possessed by it will turn into dry bones within seven days; the terrifying monster that absorbs human energy; The bird-eyed bird ghost; the human-faced spider-body bridal that lives only on human heads, there are countless bright red spiders hovering around; the scissors flying around in the air. There is also a frog body with an ape face, a mountain ghost transformed into a person who is bewitched by passion...
All kinds of ghosts and ghosts showed their most ferocious appearances, drifting past outside the barrier, and occasionally a few broke into the barrier and passed by the bullock cart. Everyone held their breath, not daring to make a sound.
Seeing so many ghosts at once made my heart beat faster, my breathing quickened, and my palms were slightly sweaty. I looked at Qingming, his face was still expressionless, as if what happened outside had nothing to do with him. I took a deep breath, and only hoped that these monsters would not find us and leave early.
The enchantment between Mr. Zhongxing and Baoxian seems to be quite effective. During the tense waiting, almost half of the ghosts passed by us. The curtain started to vibrate, and was lifted up by a few strands of long black hair that slipped in. I was startled, and looked at Qingming, who gave me a silent look.
The curtain was pulled up by the hair, and the scene in front of me shocked me even more. A beautiful woman with fluttering long hair was swaying in front of the curtain. There are countless different human faces buried, the only similarity is that all of those faces are the faces of girls. I was shocked, it was a ghost. Fagui, also known as Xiemenji, has a beautiful face like wine, but has no body. Her body is long hair, and there are countless human faces buried in her hair. The ghost only eats the face of a virgin, and if he swallows one, he will be younger. Perhaps for this reason, she seemed to feel my presence.
A trace of surprise also flashed across Qingming's frightened face.
Their long hair fluttered around me tentatively. A few strands of hair brushed against my face and neck. On the spot, a faint bloodstain suddenly appeared, like a needle prick, or like ten thousand ants biting, the pain was unbearable. I bit my lower lip tightly to bear the pain, knowing that I must not make a sound at this time, otherwise I will attract other evil spirits, and the people here may not escape tonight.
It's just that the ghost didn't seem to have the intention of leaving. I was really afraid that I couldn't help it anymore. Just as I closed my eyes, I suddenly felt a figure quickly and silently cover my body.
I opened my eyes in surprise, and what caught my eyes was Qingming's face. Before I could take a closer look, he made a silent gesture and gently pressed my head into his arms .
A scent of frozen lake blows to the face, which is a reassuring smell. Under him, the ghostly hair didn't seem to touch me anymore. I could clearly hear his steady heartbeat and rhythmic breathing without any disorder. It's really surprising to make such a move, and a little touch suddenly surged in my heart.
I don't know how long it took before I heard Baoxian's voice coming from outside the curtain, "Shaluo, Qingming, you two are fine—" His words stopped suddenly, Qingming got up quickly, I looked outside in amazement, The curtain has been rolled up, Baoxian's face flashed a look of surprise...
"Are you all right?" He immediately regained his composure.
"Just now Qingming wanted to protect me, because there was a ghost..." I realized that Qingming and I seemed a little ambiguous in our posture just now, so I quickly explained.
Surprise flashed across Baoxian's eyes, and he immediately laughed again, saying, "It's fine."
I looked at Qingming and said, "Thank you, Qingming."
Qingming glanced at me and said lightly: "That's what Master ordered, you don't have to thank me."
Bao Xian quickly noticed my scars, his face changed slightly, he stretched out his hand and just touched my wound, suddenly thought of something, and immediately retracted his hand, saying: "After returning to the mansion, I will have someone **** you Medicine." He turned his head to Qingming again, "Qingming, please tell my father that Shaluo is fine."
Qingming nodded and got out of the car.
"Does it hurt? Shaluo?" He frowned slightly, "There are scars on his face too."
"My kissy little face won't be disfigured. In this case, there will be one less beauty in the world." I muttered while touching my face. If the face is disfigured, I must fight that ghost one-on-one, and tear off her faces one by one. Baoxian looked at me, was stunned, and laughed.
"Shaluo, you are really interesting." He tapped my head again with his cypress fan.
"Fun is fun, why hit me!"
"Oh hehehe, I'm used to it."
"Do you have this habit..."
He Mao Zhongxing liked Qingming very much in the first place. After the false alarm of the Night Walk of the Hundred Ghosts, he admired Qingming even more, and began to teach Qingming the way of yin and yang without reservation. Under the circumstances that no one had discovered it at the time, if it wasn't for Seimei, the consequences would be unimaginable.
As for me, I continued to train in hell-style court etiquette. Aqiu and Dianzi took turns in the battle, and finally I could barely pass the test of etiquette. As for waka, I could recite some casually.
The day of entering the palace is getting closer and closer, and everything seems to be going well. Mr. Zhongxing accepted my request and specially entrusted someone to arrange me to be the wife of Yu Ji. In this way, it will be much easier for me to complete the task.
This night, the weather was hot and stuffy, so I put on an unlined garment and sneaked out of the room, wanting to go to the courtyard to get some fresh air. As soon as I came to the courtyard, I saw that familiar figure by the lotus pond. Under the clear moonlight, Abe Seimei, wearing a white safari, was staring at a slightly yellowed piece of paper in his hand, with a calm expression, as if caught in some memory.
I walked over lightly, and as soon as I got behind him, he immediately put away the paper vigilantly, but I still vaguely saw a line of words: Tongzimaru, my mother has something to say...
Tongziwan? who is it?
"Qingming, are you reading the love letter?" I sat down beside him and joked with a smile.
"No." He whispered.
"Just kidding, don't be angry, but I think the paper looks old."
He stared at the lake, and suddenly said slowly: "That is natural, because that is the letter my mother left me when I was five years old when she left home."
"A letter from your mother? But your mother is not a white fox..." I quickly covered my mouth.
He turned his head and looked at me, but said nothing.
"I'm sorry, I don't mean anything else, I'm just curious about what kind of woman Qingming's mother is, who has the courage to fall in love with your father." I quickly explained.
Qingming turned his head sideways again, and said in a low voice: "The concubine is leaving the king as if she is gone, and I will meet you at the spring. I remember my father burst into tears after reading it." When Qingming said these words, his eyes were clear, and there was no sadness, but a faint sense of loss surged deep in his eyes.
"If I hadn't been frightened and cried because I saw my mother's true form, my mother would not have left." He said in a low voice, looking up to a far away place.
"Everything is preordained, and it cannot be said to be Qingming's fault. If it is destined to leave, even if there is no such thing as Qingming, there may be other things that make your mother leave. But no matter what, Your father and mother really love each other, and they had a happy time. Even if you do it all over again, I don’t think your parents will regret it. And Qingming is the testimony of their love. Just thinking about it makes you feel You will feel very happy, right?"
Qingming turned her head slowly, with rare gentleness in her eyes, "Shaluo, do you really think so? Even though I am the son of a white fox, do you think I am happy?"
"Of course, don't you know that mixed races are very popular? And they are very smart, especially your mixed race, which is even more special." I laughed.
"Mixed race?" He was taken aback.
"Oh, it's a term used by our Tang Dynasty, which refers to the children born to people from different countries and different races. For example, if you are from Yamato and I am from Datang, then..." I will Without going on, I suddenly felt that the example I gave was bad, as if it was not comparable, why compare myself.
Sure enough, there was a smile in Qingming's eyes.
"Well, that's not what I meant, anyway, you understand what I mean, right?" I quickly explained.
"Understood." The corners of his mouth rose slightly, evoking a faint smile.
God, this is the first time I see Qingming's smile. It's like the sunset glow at dusk in summer. Innocence and coquettish coexist. The quicksand in the room can't be caught all the time, the sun is blowing, and the smile is slowly settling.
"What's wrong?" He seemed a little surprised.
"It's the first time I see Qingming smiling, and I can't react." I smiled sarcastically.
He looked at me and suddenly said, "There doesn't seem to be a scar on my face."
"Yeah." I touched my face, "Thanks to the hero Qingming for saving the beauty that day."
"Save the beauty?" He smiled faintly, "Sha Luo, you really are..."
"I'm really cute, right, Qingming, I'd be embarrassed if you praised me like that," I said.
He finally couldn't help but chuckled softly.
"Qingming looks beautiful when she smiles, you should smile more in the future." I said with a smile.
"It's getting late, I should go back to my room." Before I could finish speaking, he had already suppressed his smile, stood up, and was about to go out.
"Seimei, that name is very cute." I glanced at him.
"What?"
"Douzimaru... so cute." I suddenly thought of Seimei's baby name I saw just now, and couldn't help feeling a little funny.
“…”
"Good night, Tongziwan."
"Sha Luo, don't call me that..."
"Okay, Tongziwan."
"Shaluo... did you hear..." Seimei's calm face began to twitch slightly.
"Then..." Hey, why can't I make a sound, I rubbed my throat and stared at Qingming, he must have used some yin and yang technique. Sure enough, Qingming's crystal-clear eyes suddenly flashed a fox-like smile.
"Shaluo, when you get back to your room, you will naturally be able to speak. Remember, you can't call me by that name again." He turned around and left after speaking.
I looked at his back reluctantly, Abe Seimei would actually use this trick, so cunning, he is indeed the son of the white fox, with half of the fox's blood flowing in his body.
